Come one guys... who are we to judge is the house is Ugly or no.. whats ugly is the controversy.. I am sure the claimant can benefit by having a co-ordial dialogue with Mr Ambani, rather than drag him in investigations...

I think it's a rather interesting and bold design. As for occupants I find him nothing more than overweight troll living off his father's corrupt legacy and does nothing for his country. I am absolutely for capitalism but not the crony and absolutely corrupt to it's core version we practice in India. Look at South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, they may have levels of corruptions (except for Singapore) but nowhere near our level of absolute wall to wall corruption and have successfully transitioned from developing nations to developed nations.

I hate the self centered Ambanis wrote:

They are not smart or brave or generous enough to follow a true great human example:
On December 9, 2010, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and investor Warren Buffett signed a promise they called the "Giving Pledge", in which they promised to donate to charity at least half of their wealth over the course of time, and invited others among the wealthy to donate 50% or more of their wealth to charity.

Shame, shame shame on you selfish Amabanis..you are a disgrace to your country!

I grew up in Bombay before moving to States. I would walk by this orphanage on my way to school. The land was allocated for school. The land is stolen from Muslim Waqf Board [Muslim Trust] which was run by Khoja family. The Maharashtra judiciary and politicians illegally obtained the land for Mukesh Ambani cheating the meek. It belongs to poor muslim orphans. Ambanis should go back to Pedder road and donate the building to orphanage. It will be a good tax break for them and a nice school for the poor kids.
I am hurt to learn that a renowned NY architect firm "Perkins & Wills" would lower its morals and build a house on a stolen property. What happens to the higher moral ground.

There is a book called "Polyester Prince", written by Hamish McDonald who was the Editor of The Far Eastern Economic Review. This book gets as close to the truth about the Ambani a story as you can possibly in India, where power and money are everything. The book was banned in India and the overseas prints were bought up by the Ambanis.

The Ambanis typify crony capitalism in India and represent everything that is wrong with our system. The community they come from is not exactly known for charity. Don't hold your breath, he will not be donating anything anytime soon. That ugly house built with blood money in a country where millions starve everyday will trigger a karmic retribution..
